NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — A wheelchair-bound man was in police custody Saturday morning, accused of stealing wallets and purses from guests at high-end Manhattan restaurants and hotels.

As 1010 WINS’ Eileen Lehpamer reported, Matias Moreno-Boza of Perth Amboy, N.J., has been charged with four counts of grand larceny in connection with the thefts, which happened between Aug. 19 and Sept. 6, police said.

Police said in the earliest incident, at 8:45 p.m. Aug. 19, the suspect pretended to be a guest at the Marriott Marquis Hotel, 1535 Broadway, and stole an unattended bag from a 42-year-old woman. The bag contained a wallet, an iPad, a necklace and an unspecified amount of money, police said.

In a third incident, at 9:45 p.m. Sept. 3, a 40-year-old woman left her purse behind as she got up to dance at Havana Central Restaurant, 151 W. 46th St., police said. When she returned, her purse – containing a wallet, credit cards and money – was missing, police said.

And at 8:30 p.m. Sept. 6, a 35-year-old woman at Txikito, 240 Ninth Ave., found her pocketbook missing after placing it behind her on a chair.

After one theft, police said Moreno-Boza allegedly used one of the stolen credit cards to get back to New Jersey.

In each incident, Moreno-Boza would simply roll away in his wheelchair before anyone noticed the thefts, police said.
